Sweet as the Punch

Get ready to party

Sweet as the Punch is the new test-kitchen for me, Amanda Krueger, founder and former owner of Bake It Pretty and lover of all things shiny, delicious, and festive.  For more than you'd ever want to know about me (and then some) please visit my portfolio page Hey-Amanda.com

After recently selling Bake It Pretty to an amazing new owner, I'm looking forward to getting my head out of the office and back into the sugar bowl, so to speak.  I have a serious backlog of recipes and party ideas to share with you and I can't wait to fire up the mixer and get started. See you soon!

XOXO

PS.  What's with the name?  Here's a hint.
